Well it was only a matter of time. I hope they don't recycle any of the actors unless it's for a different role. The age difference is just overkill.

I'm not a fan but it's definitely a very good idea that should have already been done a while now.

Apparently a 7-season series covering each book.

Maybe I’ll finally watch the original movies before this series gets made.

Feels way too soon for this... like they should wait at least another few years since the movies are still fresh on people's minds. And it would also make sense to wait until the children of people who grew up with the books and movies are at an age where they can also read the books and watch the series with their parents.
On the plus side, I suppose it'll allow for more faithful adaptations and we will see stuff that was left out of the movies. Still, it'll be tough to get a cast as good as the adult characters from the movies, which already had a bunch of great UK actors. Like how are you going to top Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Emma Thompson, Imelda Staunton, and on and on...

I binged the movies for the first time last summer. Never read the books, but while I was watching the movies I never thought "I would like this better if it was 20 hours long" for any of them.

I’m not sure if there’s a need to top the original cast, but I see no reason why HBO couldn’t attract equal or greater talent for this. |

The biggest hurdle is casting Snape. Its hard to replace Alan Rickman.

well the teaser used john williams score lmao
i’ll be watching this and have some hope for it, but as someone who has never read the books, it will be hard for me to separate the movies from this (and seemingly the studio too as they’re using the music from the movies as well as the same title art 😂)

Was this meant to be a joke?.... the title art comment was, music comment, not so much. i know they’ll have their own score for the movie, but much like hogwarts legacy, it will in doubt have a very similar vibe to the movies and take a lot of the john williams score. which isn’t a bad thing since it’s a good score, but just shows how iconic the movies were and how it’ll be hard to differentiate itself from them since a lot of people who think of harry potter think of the actors from the movies, music, etc like i said though, hoping for the best and have no doubt this will do big numbers for viewership |

I don't understand what exactly they're gonna bring to the table that's already there apart from some stuff from the books that didn't make it to the films. Should've waited at least another 5 years before rebooting it. |
